Day Trips from Bangkok to Phuket

Step off the tourist trail and into Phuket's east coast at Baan Bang Rong, a traditional Muslim fishing community where age-old practices and eco-conscious values shape daily life. Join the Baan Bang Rong Agricultural Preservation Tourism Group for hands-on experiences: craft a traditional pateh bag, taste freshly harvested pineapple, and observe a rubber tapping demonstration, a cornerstone of the island's rural economy.

The experience culminates with a cooking demonstration of khnam tom, a beloved local dessert, and a hearty lunch prepared in the community kitchen, genuine cultural exchange hosted by local families. This private half-day tour returns at approximately 1:30 PM, leaving your afternoon free to explore Phuket at your own pace.
